And no matter how long you've been visiting, you picked an AMAZING time to pop in because we're celebrating my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas {read my post announcing this series HERE if you don't know what I'm talking about}.
Today is Day 3 of my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas! And the prize today is pretty FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! Although, to be honest, all of the prizes are AMAZEBALLS! If I could enter my own giveaways I'm pretty sure I would enter each and every one of them in this series because they are just that awesome.
Up for grabs today are: 3 Handful Bras.
For today, DAY THREE, three winners will be selected, each winning a Handful bra of their choice.
Although there is much debate as to whether or not a runner should wear under garments on their bottom half, the need for over-the-shoulder-boulder-holders for females while running is a MUST! And finding said garment can be tricky.

I was introduced to Handful bras a couple years ago and haven't looked back since. I will be the first to admit (especially since I would consider myself a self proclaimed 'Frugal Fred'), they cost a pretty penny, but I believe they're worth every cent (and not just because I'm an ambassador, I've been rocking these bras for years before they asked me to be part of their team)! Not only do they #FlatterNotFlatten (say goodbye to the unfortunate unaboob), but they come with removable Lights Out™ pads, offer flat seams on the inside for added comfort, have performance wicking lining and can be customized with adjustable length straps and strap configuration {can be X-back, straight or tied up as a halter}.
As a part of the #SportsBraSquad (which, let me remind you, I joined very reluctantly because I do not always love the way my body looks, but when it is hot and humid and you sweat through your shirt before you start your run, you've gotta do something), I am STOKED to have found a sports bra that not only looks great, but makes me feel great!
Entering this giveaway (along with the other #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas giveaways) is easy-peasy! Simply use the Rafflecopter widget below listed on the giveaway blog post and cross your fingers. Some entries are available daily so I'd HIGHLY recommend entering early and often. (Shoot, I would even go as far as suggesting you set an alarm to remind you to come back to this page every 24 hours so you can take advantage of as many entries as possible!)

Now, the nitty gritty details... All entries are verified, so please make sure to do whatever the required action for the entry is or it will be disqualified. I would hate for you to miss out on winning due to a technicality, so if you are going to click the option, make sure you do whatever it asks or a new, random winner will be selected in your place.
Also, this giveaway will last seven days, with the winners being picked (and notified) on the eighth day. The winners will have 24 hours to reply to the congratulations email from me to claim their prize. That means, for this specific giveaway, it will end on December 9th at 11:59pm PST and the THREE winners will be chosen on December 10th.
And, finally, the winners must have a US mailing address. International shipping seems to cost an arm and a leg these days, and customs is a major headache, so to make it easier (and cheaper) on the brands who have offered up their products, the winners must live in United States of America (or at least have an address we can ship to within the US).
With that said, BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO ENTERS! And don't forget to stop back tomorrow to see what is up next in my #12DaysOfCarleesChristmas (I promise you do NOT want to miss out on any of these giveaways!)!

I do love Handful bras! The other brand I've found to work well is Puma.
ReplyDeleteWell, I used to love the Moving Comfort Vixen bra. But lately I really like the sports bras from Target - affordable, padded and comfortable.
ReplyDeletemy current fave is from Lole; however i haven't tried handful yet ;)
ReplyDelete(stacey h)
I usually end up getting my sports bras from TJ Maxx..but am definitely looking for something better
ReplyDeleteFinding bras that last more than a few months of running and washing is tough! Right now I am like new balance bras from TJMaxx.
ReplyDeleteIm a huge fan of the Brooks upright cross back, but I’ve been looking for a supportive bra that holds me in with thinner straps, so Handful is on my list to try,
ReplyDeleteI haven’t been able to find a sports bra that I LOVE yet! However, a frequent go to of mine is Old Navy
ReplyDeleteI have one I like from Victoria’s Secret and one from Marshall’s that I really like but I can’t ever seem to find the same one again when I go back.
ReplyDeleteMy fave is moving comfort, but I would love to try handful!
ReplyDeleteI would love to give them a whirl
ReplyDeleteWould love to try these!! They look so comfy!
ReplyDeleteI like Nike sports bras but always looking for something better.
ReplyDeleteThe Oiselle Verrazano bra
ReplyDeleteI have been wearing JC Penny's sports bars. I like them but I still want to find something more comfortable
ReplyDeleteMy almost-As can wear anything. I’m pretty sure I still have a sports bra from HS 😂. But I do love my Brooks Fine Form since they unhook like a normal bra and can be worn like a normal bra or a racer back.
ReplyDeleteSo far the only kind of sports bra I’ve ever tried is the standard Nike sports bra. They seem to work for me, but I’m always open to trying new things!
ReplyDeleteI typically wear Under Armour’s Armour bra but these keep popping up & I’d LOVE to try!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been wanting to try these so bad!
ReplyDeleteI’m in need of new sports bras! This would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI have not found a sports bra that I absolutely love. I’ve been using the C9 ones from Target. They are decent but don’t last very long. I’ve been wanting to try these Handful bras for awhile now!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been wearing the Rebound Racer from Brooks/Moving Comfort, but the fabric is not the best for wicking. I’ve heard these are great.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty thin and have little boobs, I have thought about a sports bra until I started getting some good running ones. The support isnt something i really worry about but the wicking away of swear LOVE IT. I have been loving the New Balance sports bras lately
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love handful bra!!! They truly are my favorite bra ever!!
ReplyDeleteI wear mine way too long, it’s hard for me to toss them. A favorite is New Balance, but I’m willing to try anything M
ReplyDeleteI usually wear Nike or Senita (with the phone pocket it’s amazing) but I would love to try these- Love all the fun colors!
ReplyDeleteI recently found a Champion bra that I love. I’m always searching for a comfortable option!
ReplyDeleteI haven’t tried these yet but they look super cute!
ReplyDeleteI've only used Nike, been eyeing up handful for a while though.

ReplyDeleteI'm not even sure what brand my current sports bras are but I like them. I always here great things about handful bras. I'd love to try them.
ReplyDeleteI have a couple of gapfit bras that are so comfortable, but they are from a few years ago and they don’t carry them anymore!!
ReplyDeleteI have always used Nike bras, but only a certain one- I'm super picky. I don't want any movement with the girls while I run. I have a couple Addidas bras that I use for non impact work outs.
ReplyDeleteI have a favorite brooks sports bra that is usually my go to.
ReplyDeleteMoving Comfort Rebound Racer is the bra for me! I try other bras... love to find a cute one but my girls fed a baby & now they’re 44 years old and no longer stay where they should so, well, cute usually isn’t an option. I need zero movement!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've tried SO many different sports bras (and I've definitely been one to jump around in the dressing room to test) my current favorite is by Oiselle (the classic verrazzano bra!)
ReplyDeleteHandful is my new favorite. I love the fabric and how it flatters and not flattens like most sports bras.
ReplyDeleteAlways in need of new sports bras!!
ReplyDeleteI have not found the right ones yet....
ReplyDeleteI love Handful bras! They are my absolute favorite.
ReplyDeleteI actually really love the Handful bras. It’s nice to have a sports bra that doesn’t have the uniboob effect!

ReplyDeleteTypically I wear Champion sports bras but I would LOVE to try Handful!!
ReplyDeleteI had a go-to sports bra but then I had a baby... Hello mom boobs. So now I am on the search for a new bra that will be my go-to.
ReplyDeleteBras are like shoes...the search is never ending
ReplyDeleteMy go to sports bra is Under Armour but I’ve been wanting to try Handful for awhile, just haven’t taken the leap yet!
ReplyDeleteSuch an endorsement! I’ve had two kids and lost a lot of weight so my boob ain’t what they used to be. I’d love something that would flatter what I have left. Also, “handful” is the best name for a bra company
ReplyDeleteNo go to bra, just depends on the weather and how far I am running :)
ReplyDeleteI want to try Handful bras so bad!
ReplyDeleteWould love to try one of these!
ReplyDeleteI’ve really wanted to try these bras. Right now my fave ones are from Target. Haha

I currently wear Champion but due to an odd size, I'm always looking for something better.
ReplyDeleteAlways in need of a new bar... or 3
ReplyDeleteLove handful and lululemon
ReplyDeleteI'd love to give these a try
ReplyDeleteI've tried a ton of brands, none of which I've fallen in love with until I found this strappy Nike bra. It holds the girls in place AND is flattering if I wear a tank top when I'm not working out.
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite is by Brooks Running, but I need to replace so many in my running drawer!
ReplyDeleteI’m always on the look out for good sports bras!
ReplyDeletesigh....no, I have not found The One yet, still seeking.

ReplyDeleteI haven’t been able to find a sports bra that I love yet
ReplyDeleteI'm so small that basically anything works! Hahaha :)

ReplyDeleteMy favorites are from Handful & Oiselle!
ReplyDeleteI like Athlete sports bras. However, since they're more expensive I only purchase about 1-2/year and stick with Nike or Under armor for the others!
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of Handful and Oiselle bras!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time finding a sports bra support enough, but that doesn't leave me chaffed or suffocating. Would love to try these out.
ReplyDeleteI have New Balance sports bras currently, but have always wanted to give these a whirl. They are from my stomping grounds, so how could they not be awesome?
ReplyDeleteI definitely need a better bra! I just get cheap ones from Target.
ReplyDeleteThere used to be some great sports bras at Target with no padding, but they don’t make them anymore and I’m sad!!! �� So I’m on the hunt for a new go-to brand.
ReplyDeleteI rotate between a few, but I've liked Ryka quite a bit!!
ReplyDeleteI like sports bras from target :)
ReplyDelete-Katrina H
I haven’t found one I love yet... I usually just get them from Old Navy when they are on sale.
ReplyDeleteI've had issues with sports bras. I currently am using a fiona by brooks, but I'm not entirely sure I like them. I hate bouncing.
ReplyDeleteI have tried all different kinds of sport bras. I've been wearing Under Armor ones, they haven't chaffed me yet.
ReplyDeleteChampion are pretty good
ReplyDeleteI hope i win!
ReplyDeleteThese look comfy!!
ReplyDeletei usually run in danskin, but i would love to try the handfuls because i've heard such good things about them.
ReplyDeleteNot really I usually buy what's on sale. Love to try these though.
ReplyDeleteI wear the knockout bra from VSX.
ReplyDeleteI've bought one for my daughter but not for myself. *here's hoping!
ReplyDeleteThese are the ONLY sports bras I wear. Can you have too many? I don’t think so! They make the perfect swim top too! I have even gifted them to my sister, niece and sis in law! A MUST in my life!
ReplyDeleteI have a few Champion bras that I like.
ReplyDeleteSadie B.
Brooks sports bras have been my favorite, especially the Juno. I'm a 36D and this brand is super comfy and functions well.
ReplyDeleteI have not found a fave sports bra yet. I have like 5-6 different ones, none make me want to repurchase.
ReplyDeleteI haven't found a great one yet!
ReplyDeleteI just bought my first handful this year and LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple Under Armour bras I like. Also the Lululemon energy bra is my fave!
ReplyDeleteI used to wear new balance and can’t find the model I like anymore....on the hunt for a new option.
ReplyDeleteI have ones I like, but not love
ReplyDeleteI love Handful bras. I have several and wear them as my everyday bras.
ReplyDeleteThese look super cute and actually functional!
ReplyDeleteI have not found one I like yet. :(
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love Handful bras. I wear a few others, but since I discovered them, Handful is my fave.
ReplyDeletelove me some Handful!
ReplyDeleteive tried a bunch but adidas always has my heart!
ReplyDeleteNot really. I wear target or academy brand ones mostly. They do ok.
ReplyDeleteHandful bras work and I'm partial to the oiselle verrzano for ultras!
ReplyDeleteI like Senitas bras.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm a guy commenting on a bra post, but I do know what the girls in my life like to wear. They are all pretty much obsessed with Handful too. (Which MAY be one of the things they are getting for Christmas this year.)
ReplyDeleteStill looking for my go-to running bra that is supportive but doesn't cause chafing
ReplyDeleteUnderarmor
ReplyDeleteI tried Handful for the first time this summer and they are all I wear now! <3
ReplyDeleteI wish that I had one that I loved, I have tried so many and still haven't found one that works for me.
ReplyDeleteI haven't find my go to bra yet
ReplyDeleteNo! I have yet to find one I love. I'm also pretty frugal and hate to think of spending so much, but after the chafing I've been getting, it's probably time to really invest.
ReplyDeleteI have a moving comfort bra that gives good support which I need as a breastfeeding mom. When I don't need that extra support I usually go with a champion bra from target. But I'm always on the lookout for a new brand that gives support and is comfortable!

ReplyDeleteThanks to you for introducing me to Handful bras, they are now my absolutely favorite and I won't wear anything else. I only own a couple so another one would be wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteMy go-to bra has been a champion bra.... I am really intrigued by the handfull bra though, but worry that they won't work for bigger-chested ladies?! It would be great to try!
ReplyDeleteI am loving Handful bras!
ReplyDeleteI've had good luck with Lululemon sport bras!
ReplyDeleteI've always used Champion and Roadrunner Sports sells them for $10 twice a year at their tent sale so I stock up then!
ReplyDeleteI have not found a bra I love, I just typically use the Target brand and wear two.
ReplyDeleteVictoria secret sport is surprisingly good if you have baby boobies. I don't have huge Tats so it's easier to find supportive sports bras.
ReplyDeleteI'm always looking for a good bra that doesn't flatten the littles! I'd love to given these a try!
ReplyDeleteOiselle has always worked well for me, but super curious about these!
ReplyDeleteI need to up my sportsbra game.

ReplyDeletebrooks uplift or handful Y backs!
ReplyDeleteBrooks Fiona!
ReplyDeleteI have several Lululemon bras that I really love but you have to be super careful ordering online as I've made some sizing mistakes with how the straps are configured!
ReplyDeleteI do better when I can buy in the store, but right now my favorite bra is a cheap bra from Target.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE Handful Bras!

ReplyDelete��������
ReplyDeleteI honestly haven't found one! I just buy the sports bras at Walmart or Target.
ReplyDeleteI really want to try these bras, up until now I’ve been using Under Armour, that’s my affordable go to sports bra!
ReplyDeleteI usually use Under Armour sports bras. They're not too expensive and do the job well.
ReplyDeleteI have not yet found a go-to sports bra so I'm hoping that Handful could be the one!
ReplyDeleteMy current go-to is the Knockout Bra from VS. I also love the Pace Perfect bra from Lulu.

ReplyDeleteJust starting to get back into the workout groove so I'm crossing my fingers! My post-baby self needs a better sports bra! :)

ReplyDeleteI'm still looking for a good sports bra!

ReplyDeleteI definitely love Handful bras! They are so comfy!
ReplyDeleteHandful bras are my absolute favorite! <3!

ReplyDeletei love my handful bras

ReplyDeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteI usually pick up sports bras at Target or Tj Maxx, but I've never been 100% happy with them. It's time to upgrade to something really nice :D
ReplyDeleteSadly have not yet found a go-to brand.
ReplyDeleteSadly, not yet. But my favorite one so far has been one I got from Athleta.
ReplyDeleteI pretty much only wear Brooks (which is still so weird to say - I always want to say Moving Comfort). Finding a sports bra that works for... more... has been a lifelong challenge, now I don't mess it for high impact, but will sometimes venture out for low impact.
ReplyDeleteI just ran a 50 mile race Saturday and my back is a wreck from sports bra rub. I'm always looking for comfortable, supportive bras.
ReplyDeleteI love Under Armour! I also have a Lulu one that is cute but super supportive as well.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty religious with the Energy bra from Lululemon! but I also love the "stuff your bra" that they no longer MAKE ANYMORE!!! in with the new!
ReplyDeleteJust switched to Handful bras! They are now my favs!
ReplyDeleteNo, but I need/want to!
ReplyDeleteNike ProCompression or Brooks SureShot.
ReplyDeleteI love the Handful bras, I ask for one for my birthday every year :)
